A member asked:
I think i only received two shots of the gardasil vaccine am i still protected against hpv?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Probably not: The recommendation for gardisil is all three vaccines within 6 months. There are no studies to suggest you will be protected after only 2 shots. The good news is, you don't need to start over, even if the time for your 3rd shot has passed. Call your physician and make an appt for your final vaccine. Best of luck to you!
